Where the inside of the business
has to match the outside.
Behavior advisory built specifically for landscape companies. Five productized engagements that turn how your people are wired into something you can actually see, work with, and hire against. The instrument the Fortune 500 uses for executive decisions. Run by somebody who's been in green industry for thirty years.
You can fix the trucks, the routes, and the estimating software. The people problem keeps showing up anyway.
You've spent a decade building operational discipline into the company. You've systematized everything you could. The work itself is now better than it's ever been. And yet the same problems keep coming back. The wrong hire who interviewed beautifully. The team that nods in the meeting and disagrees in the hallway. The senior person who leaves and somehow takes half the staff with them.
These aren't operational problems. They're behavior problems wearing operational clothes. Until the inside of the business (how people are wired, how they work together, who's actually ready for what) gets the same discipline you've built on the outside, the patterns will keep repeating. DPD is the work that lives inside.
Five doors. One discipline.
Each offering solves a specific behavior problem most landscape owners eventually meet. They progress from the new hire you haven't made yet to the leaders you're developing for the future. Pick the door that matches your question.
Role Benchmark
Benchmark your top performer. Compare every finalist against the standard. Get a hire/no-hire recommendation before the offer. Keep the benchmark for every hire that follows.
Role Fit Review
Define the role properly. Score the person against it and your core values. Coach, restructure, or have the honest conversation. With evidence, not gut.
The Owner's Blind Spot
The instrument turned on you. Your wiring, your avoidance patterns, where they show up in the business. The conversation most owners have never had about themselves.
Leadership Team Alignment
Map how your leadership team actually fits together. A working session that names what's been below the surface. A quarterly rhythm that keeps the map current as people change.
Role Succession
An annual track that identifies your real successors, builds twelve-month development plans against named roles, and runs quarterly readiness reviews. Stop letting succession happen by accident.
An operator who built the toolkit because the existing toolkits weren't built for what we actually do.
Certified Consultant
Executive Program Leader
I've been in green industry for thirty years. Started as a designer, built and sold a landscape company, ran operations through the cycles you'd recognize. Spent the back half of those years figuring out why some companies in our industry keep hitting the same walls no matter how hard the owner works. Wrote a book about what I found. It wasn't what I expected.
The pattern that kept showing up wasn't operational. It was behavioral. The owners who got past the walls weren't the ones who tried harder. They were the ones who got disciplined about how their people were wired and built the company around that reality instead of around how they wished things worked.
There are two ways advisors typically come at this work. Behavior practitioners who know the instruments inside and out but have never run a maintenance route. Or industry peers who've run plenty of routes but are working off gut. Neither is enough by itself. I'm certified on the Maxwell DISC Method and the Maxwell Leadership platform that the Fortune 500 uses for executive decisions. I've also been in the industry long enough to know what 4 AM in March feels like. Same person. Same conversation.
My work with landscape companies runs in two parallel tracks.
Same industry, same person, two different shapes of engagement. The right door depends on what you're trying to fix.
Operational infrastructure
Embedded fractional COO work. Multi-quarter engagements built around your specific operational reality. Strategy, structure, accountability, the actual running of the company.
